So, in honour of today being my 5th year anniversary of joining Classic-Castle, I am officially releasing the first installments of what is intended to be a somewhat longer tale. I shall warn you now, though, that updates shall be irregular at best (namely whenever I feel like and have time--a rare combination).

Unfortunately, that's as far as I've made it yet. By the by, when I say "chapter" what I really mean is "run of thematic scenes shot at the same time"... which does sort of work out to be a conventional chapter.

Chapter 15 is now online--see this post of this thread for deeplinks and news.

I am thoroughly enjoying this tale and the realism of the whole grandfather/young-grandchildren-who-don't-have-the-patience-to-sit-through-a-good-story dynamic. Since when do children ever sit quietly through a good story? Very nice, sir!
